His Grace Is Sufficient For Us

When I am weak, He is strong for me. His grace is always sufficient for
me for the day!

When Jesus Christ died at the cross some two thousand years ago, He
completed the finished work that needed to be completed. He thoroughly
cleansed us of all our sins and brought us back to God so that we are
now drafted into the kingdom of God. We are sons and daughters of Abba
Father. We are joined heir with Christ Jesus.

The bible says Jesus is our provider, Jehovah Jireh. His supplies never
stop. Whatever we need in our lives, He is always supplying. His grace
is always sufficient for us. His timing is always perfect, though He may
seem to be late at times. Trust in His grace towards us for it is this
grace that reconciled us to God. God's Righteousness At Christ's
Expense. That's the perfect love expressed by Abba Father when Christ
died at the cross.

If we are battling with some form of dreaded diseases, rest assured that
Jesus, Jehovah Rapha, will heal us. He is the healer and He is healing
Himself. For by His stripe, we are already the healed. We are not trying
to be healed but already the healed! When the children of Israel was
wondering in the wilderness and some of them were bitten by venomous
snakes, whoever looked unto the bronze serpent on the wooden cross lived!

The bible says whoever looked at the bronze serpent lived. It was not
their effort to try and purge the poison out of their bodies. It was
focusing on the serpent that was judged at the cross that healed them.
The devil was judged at the cross when Christ cried, 'It is finished!'.
With it, healing is ours to proclaim as Jehovah Rapha now lives in us.

If we are dealing with some debts that seem overwhelming and larger than
life, be at rest for Jesus is Jehovah Jireh. He is our provider. The
bible says Jesus was made poor at the cross that we through His poverty
shall be made rich. In this passage we are already made rich through the
sacrifice at the cross. It is a matter of time we see material riches in
our lives. Praise the Lord for His is good. Our job is to believe His
word for the word has the power to transform our lives and manifest
itself in this world!

Take for example the story of Ruth. She was a widow and a Moabite. In
the natural, she has nothing. Yet she trusted in the favour of the Lord
and glean in Boaz's field. She found favour in the eyes of Boaz and
subsequently married Boaz, the kinsmen redeemer in this story. From
someone who has nothing in her possession to becoming one of the richest
lady in the land of Israel.

Beloveds of the Lord, trust in God's grace for His grace is sufficient
for us. We can always rely on His mercy and goodness in our lives.
Hallelujah!
